Sustainable #biomass from the US makes the #Drax power station in North Yorkshire the single largest carbon saving project in #Europe and the U.K.’s biggest single generator of #renewable electricity. Wood #pellets manufactured and imported from North America using BRUKS truck dumpers, receiving hoppers and Circular Overpile Stacker Reclaimers (COSRs), are a by-product from working forests and the #sawmill industry. A BRUKS #shiploader enables the compressed wood pellets to be delivered to the Port of Liverpool. Each freight service sent from the port via railheads to the power station, is about 1,700 metric tons. The power station produces nearly 2,000 MW of renewable power—enough for 3 million homes and around 12 percent of the U.K.'s renewable generation. #sustainability
